Switching to Arch Linux as a gamer was a scary yet good decision

Switching to Arch Linux as a gamer was a scary yet good decision

Switched from Windows 10 to Arch Linux 2 days ago. Microsoft is ending Windows 10’s support this year and I don’t enjoy Windows 11, so I made the decision to convert myself to team penguin.

I’ve used Debian & Ubuntu before, but for a very short time. I had nearly 0 experience in Linux.

I’m glad I made the switch. My desktop looks so much cleaner thanks to the customization (lost a few hours trying to make it look good). Installing everything is not as hard as many say, and gaming is smooth. Yesterday I downloaded Steam and was able to play FragPunk smoother than I would in Windows. It needed a few tweaks to run, but it didn’t take a long time. Gaming in Linux is so good nowadays, of course it isn’t perfect, but still a good experience. I never made the switch because years ago, linux gaming wasn’t as polished as it is now.

Still need to get the hang of some stuff, but I’m happy that I am learning new stuff since I switched.

I spent 18 months building a map design tool for festivals, resorts, and anything else! It's now live!

Hello all, it's finally my turn to introduce my side project!

I’ve been working on MapTo for the past 18 months in my spare time, and it’s finally live! It’s like Canva, but for maps. An intuitive, interactive tool for creating custom maps with icons, shapes, and even (soon) 3D models.

I built this because I needed a simple way to make great-looking interactive maps without dealing with GIS software or clunky tools. I'm primarily targeting music festivals, zoos/theme parks, and other temporary and permanent venues where maps are important for navigation.

These are what the maps look like

This is what the editor looks like

Would love for you to check it out at mapto.app and let me know what you think! Open to feedback, feature requests, or just startup banter.

DEMO MAPS! (Best on mobile)

Please note, there will be bugs, there is much to improve, however I'm ready to start looking for some customers and just need to launch and start getting feedback. I don't have any customers yet.

Thank you for reading.
